Text to Table Settings

Open Text to Table settings in: Extensions > Text To Table Converter > Language & Settings

These options affect how conversions open and when AI is used.

Output Mode

Output Mode controls what happens when you run Text to Table from the Extensions menu.

Open in Table Editor: converts the text, then opens the result in Table Editor
Standard Insert: converts the text and inserts the table immediately

Turn on Remember Output Mode if you want the Extensions menu to keep using your preferred output mode.

The sidebar still gives you both choices directly:

Placeholder step 1: Open Language & Settings.

Always use AI: uses AI for all Text to Table conversions, even when the input already looks structured
AI Permissions: controls whether AI use is Allow, Ask, or Deny
Enable AI Refinement: runs an optional second AI pass for more cleanup and structure improvements

These options matter only when Enable AI Refinement is turned on.

Table Orientation Preference: helps the AI decide whether the data should be organized horizontally or vertically
Date & Time Formatting: standardizes detected dates and times
Number Formatting: standardizes detected number formats
Data Cleaning: can trim whitespace, remove currency symbols, and normalize case
Correct Spelling & Grammar: cleans up cell content during refinement

In Google Sheets™, you can also choose how inserted tables are formatted after conversion.
